Beach Time is the Best Time!

After a few days in Georgia, we headed south to the beach in Alabama.  We had the most wonderful family time!  Our 4 days were full of sand castles, ocean waves, good food, laughs, and good conversations.  There were meltdowns, messes, and grocery trips in those days too but the good moments were worth it!

Crab hunting!! The kids loved crab hunting... I think they caught a total of 13 crabs one night. 

 

 

 
 

 

 Ice cream night!

 

Good morning on the porch!

Naps on the beach are the greatest...the waves would just put this boy to sleep. 

 I snapped this pic after Harper got a comb to her hair.  Ugh.  Girl, sorry, you won't ever be able to brush your hair like your straight hair friends.  
 

The Calvert kids dab! Ha! 

We finally stopped at a McDonald's for lunch...first time at a McDonald's in a long time.  Carson and Harper were both so excited about a Happy Meal toy.  Then the unthinkable happened.  All 4 kids got a girl toy in their happy meal.  And then it was like Mt St Helens erupted in Carson's head.  He lost it!  We had to go on walks and get him to chill out.  He eventually settled down...although we are all still scarred from the breakdown.  And Harper was ecstatic that she ended up with FIVE girl Happy Meal toys (from my kids meal too). 

 It was a great trip! Memories!!
